Week In Review

September 22- September 26

Gym LA, DD, SS

• We practiced curl up and push ups for our fitness test.
• We played soccer and practiced dribbling.
• We are practicing for the mile run.

Word Study PF, CB, RH, DD, KP, JK

• We got our first words for word study.
• Our words are high frequency words and we also got to choose some challenge words.
• We learned how to write our words in ABC order, open word sort, spelling and math put together, and ten spelling sentences.
• We learned how to sort our words and explain why they are sorted that way,

Writing LB, JB, KN

• We started to organize ourselves to collect different materials to support our thesis. We are using different colored folders to show our different reasons.
• We learned how to write different types of evidence: lists and mini stories.
• We went through all of our evidence and made revisions! We highlighted parts that matched and supported our thesis and cut out parts that didn't. We added more to our mini stories and lists to make it strong!

Math LB, KN, DD, RH, AP, KP

• We made a math proof for the problem we are working on: How many six-packs fit in the iced tea machine if the machine holds 132 bottles. How many full boxes (boxes hold 10 six-packs) fit in the machine.
• With our partners, we used multiplication to help us solve the problem. We learned that we can use small facts to help us with bigger problems. We learned to use a ten!
• We are starting to use xtra math,
• We are learning to craft a POWERFUL PROOF!
• At home, we have been practicing our multiplication facts and factors.

Reading AR, DD, LB, PD, KN, OC JC, TN

• Today we had Fiction Friday and we shared our reading goals with our partners. We talked about what is going well and the struggles we are having. Our partners helped us out!
• We have been reading nonfiction and jotting down main ideas and supporting details.
• In the library, we learned the difference between narrative nonfiction and expository nonfiction. Narrative nonfiction tells a story, while expository teaches us lots of facts. Some texts are hybrid!
• We are pushing ourselves to write summaries about our nonfiction texts.
• We are learning to use transition words to connect ideas together in our summaries.
• We had a show what you know day... we showed Miss Sproch all we know about nonfiction!
• We are continuing to shop for JR books.

**Push yourself to work towards the goal you set for yourself. What do you need to do as a reader in order to achieve this goal?**

                     

WRITING:

Today we learned that writer's get ready for drafting by organizing their materials (their mini-stories and lists). Today we learned that one way writer's do this is by making sure our evidence actually supports our thesis. 

Another way writer's organize for drafting is to make sure they have enough evidence to prove why their thesis is true. Tonight, as a writer, you will determine if you have enough evidence for each support/folder. Do you have enough mini stories and lists to prove why your thesis statement and support is true? If not, spend some time tonight collecting more evidence (mini stories/lists) to prove your thesis.

MATH: 

Practice your multiplication facts.
